fsverity: use register_sysctl_init() to avoid kmemleak warning

commit ee5814dddefbaa181cb247a75676dd5103775db1 upstream.

Since the fsverity sysctl registration runs as a builtin initcall, there
is no corresponding sysctl deregistration and the resulting struct
ctl_table_header is not used.  This can cause a kmemleak warning just
after the system boots up.  (A pointer to the ctl_table_header is stored
in the fsverity_sysctl_header static variable, which kmemleak should
detect; however, the compiler can optimize out that variable.)  Avoid
the kmemleak warning by using register_sysctl_init() which is intended
for use by builtin initcalls and uses kmemleak_not_leak().
